With legendary B'ham DCD head boys basketball coach Kurt Keener announcing his resignation Friday, let's take a gander at Burney's All-Time Top Keener Kage Proteges
Richard Goldberg – Keener's first great pure scorer
Damon Jones – Keener's first great point guard
Jimmy Bolden –Smooth and savvy combo guard that just missed the state title era
Chris Webber – Most talented player Keener ever coached
Shane Battier –Hardest-worker, craftiest and smartest player Keener ever coached
Ije Nwankwo – Most underrated player Keener ever coached
David Webber-Mike Manciel – Battier's teammates on all 3 state titles he won and all-state gunners on the perimeter
Darnell Brown & Clayton Beard – Paired in the backcourt to lead Keener to his first state crown ('07) without an NBA Lottery Pick anchoring the post
Ray McCallum & Amir Williams – McDonalds All-American tandem that led the KEENER KAGE KREW to state title No. 8
Edmond Sumner –The last TRUE GREAT cage star Keener mentored on the hardwood
Keith Benson & Javalle McGee – Didn't get tons of clock under Keener but he instilled in them the deep-rooted fundamentals that have helped both reach the NBA
